Striped Candy Apples Delight (Print)
Discover vibrant striped candy apples with a crisp and sweet candy coating for gatherings.
# Ingredients:
01 -
6 small apples
02 -
6 wooden sticks or lollipop sticks
03 -
2 cups granulated sugar
04 -
0.5 cup light corn syrup
05 -
0.5 cup water
06 -
Food coloring (two contrasting colors, e.g., red and white or orange and black)
07 -
Edible glitter or sprinkles (optional)
# Directions:
01 -
Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple.
02 -
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
03 -
Allow the mixture to reach 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer, without stirring, to form a hard crack stage.
04 -
Divide the mixture evenly into two bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl to create two distinct colors.
05 -
Carefully dip each apple in one color, then let it set slightly before drizzling or dipping the apple in the second color to create stripes. Use a spoon to control the amount of color on the second dip.
06 -
Optionally, sprinkle edible glitter or sprinkles on the apples while the candy coating is still tacky.
07 -
Place the apples on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set completely.
